Meet The “Skin Symmetry” Pro Behind Fashion’s Most Sculpted Faces

When it comes to improving symmetry, she views the face as a mirror of the entire body, recognising that asymmetry often stems from tension, habitual patterns and overall posture. “By releasing overactive muscles, strengthening those that are underused, and stimulating circulation, the face naturally finds its way back to greater balance,” she says. “It’s not about forcing symmetry, but about gently guiding the body back to its most natural, harmonious state.”

She also incorporates a unique Japanese beauty tool — the Face Pointer by Corefit — to stimulate pressure points and release deep-seated tension. In all my years as a beauty editor, my session with Maglanoc was the first time I’d encountered one. “It’s a precision instrument that lets me reach tiny areas the fingers can’t access, particularly around the jaw, eyes and scalp – zones that are key to restoring balance in the face,” she explains.

While tackling facial symmetry may be the hook that gets people through the door – and she truly delivers on that front – Maglanoc’s treatments go far deeper than surface aesthetics. Our 90 minutes together saw her knead away years’ worth of accumulated tension around my neck, the base of my skull (IYKYK), scalp, jawline, shoulders and beyond – satisfyingly uncomfortable at times, but ultimately transformative. I walked in feeling stiff, my jaw clenched, and left feeling free.

Then there was my face: it looked slimmer, more sculpted and really glowy – and while it’s hard to judge whether the facial had left it more symmetrical, I asked my husband and he (perhaps dutifully), confirmed that it was.

Singer, who has been seeing Maglanoc regularly in recent months, rates her highly. “I’m sadly not the sort of person who will do gua sha twice a day, so visiting Iris is the perfect alternative – she keeps everything in order,” she says. “I’ve never had anyone release tension in my face and neck like that, or somehow lift everything upwards. It feels like magic and de-ages me at least a decade. The myofascial and lymphatic release has even stopped the breakouts along my jawline – and on top of it all, she’s hilarious.”

Alongside treatments such as exosomes, microcurrent, liquid microneedling and mesotherapy, Maglanoc is equally revered for her meticulous extractions – clearing everything out without leaving behind redness or trauma. The result? Skin that feels refreshed, restored and as close to symmetrical perfection as it gets.
